Muni may share stops with shuttles

Sharing — something learned by pre-schoolers — may come soon to some of the bus stops of San Francisco.

Under an 18-month test project to be presented to a committee of the Municipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors Friday, Muni buses would share about 100 of their stops with those big private commuter shuttles that pick up techies in San Francisco and transport them to work in Silicon Valley.

City law doesn’t allow Muni stops to be used by anyone other than public transportation operators, though the MTA may designate “stands” for private operators. Shuttles would have to register, pay a fee, display identifying placards, give priority to Muni buses and follow other rules.
